Title: I-PAC Wiring Question
Post by: juxtapose519 on July 25, 2011, 04:00:50 pm

This is probably a scrubby question, but I know very little about wiring and I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer.

If I were to wire two inputs to the same connector on an I-PAC, would they both function?

For example, if I were to create two sets of controls (one with an 8-way joystick and another with a 4-way joystick), could I wire both joysticks to the same four connectors? Or could I connect both a button and a coin door to the same coin connector? Or add a second button to the 1-player start connector to use as a dedicated shift button?

I'm not necessarily looking to do these things, I'd just like to know if it's possible.

Yes, you can hook up multiple buttons to one connector set. Easy as putting a second set of wires in the connector.

If you wanted to get really crazy, you could also hook up a toggle switch to have only one button register at a time. Not hard to do at all.  :cheers:

Also, check out the videos that I made on how to wire up controls.

There are other useful videos on that topic above as well.

Good Luck!
